In his new role, Alexander will also be responsible for driving NZME print revenue growth across Northland, including through NZME’s Northland Age and Northern Advocate publications. 

With Alexander moving to this new role, NZME has appointed Mereana Hawthorn as its Northland General Sales Manager.
